Limbaugh Urges Listeners NOT to Donate to Haiti Rescue

Rush tells his followers that they shouldn't donate to Haiti because, somehow, he sees the devastation in Haiti as a positive thing, politically, for Obama. How twisted is that? How evil is that? Some people who have medical emergencies like Rush did in Hawaii rethink life. It seems that Rush is still thoughtless and very hung up on race.

In this video below, Limbaugh makes it sound as though Rahm Emanuel said that the Haiti crisis was too good to waste. Rush's listeners probably know no better. When Emanuel made those remarks he meant that while we're digging ourselves out of a hole, we can simultaneously fix the things that need to be fixed, so that our nation doesn't have another meltdown like this one. He meant we could turn lemons into lemonade. Here is Emanuel's often misinterpreted quote from an WSJ story in 2008:

This opportunity isn't lost on the new president and his team. "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste," Rahm Emanuel, Mr. Obama's new chief of staff, told a Wall Street Journal conference of top corporate chief executives this week.

He elaborated: "Things that we had postponed for too long, that were long-term, are now immediate and must be dealt with. This crisis provides the opportunity for us to do things that you could not do before." WSJ

I'd hate to be Rush Limbaugh. Ick. He's rotting on the inside.

Joe Scarborough thinks Rush might walk back his comments, but he's only been escalating them:
